Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

"Eat Clean Live Well". The banner on Terry Walters' popular blog (www.terrywalters.net) could be the credo of her holistic approach to cooking. Her debut Clean Food (9781402768149) was an empowering call to eat fresh, seasonal, minimally processed food. Her new Clean Start cookbook reinforces that message with 100 new recipes that feature clean, locally grown ingredients. Another life-enhancing Sterling title.

Library Journal

Walters follows up Clean Food with this collection of 100 additional recipes just in time for our New Year's resolutions. But if you are looking for a way to stop the holiday eating merry-go-round, this book won't help. It's aimed at foodies for whom eating local is just the tip of the iceberg. Making use of Japanese and macrobiotic ingredients like plum vinegar, kombu, and shoyu (a type of soy sauce), many of these recipes are beyond most American tastes and kitchens. Although this is 95 percent cookbook, with recipes arranged seasonally, Walters also recommends simple methods for modifying food intake by means of charts and tables and describes kitchen and pantry basics.Verdict Despite its reasonable tone, this primarily vegan cookbook does not have wide appeal. It is also not the next best hope for dieters. Purchase where Clean Food was popular and for those who enjoyed Alicia Silverstone's The Kind Diet.—Grace Shanahan, formerly with Brooklyn P.L.

Highly Recommended

Clean Start is one of the most amazing cookbooks that I use in my healthy kitchen. All of the recipes are pretty easy and all are completely delicious. I go back to it again and again at the expense of all of my other poor cookbooks that are being neglected!

Recommend it!

This cookbook holds some great inspiration to help clean up the foods we eat. I bought it in college and it made eating with the seasons very easy. Whether I was having friends over for a meal or just enjoying a cup of chai tea, there was always a page to turn to. The organization is logical and photographs are lovely. Great book.
